well because xvsf is the shit and i think dog face coverd how every one who is a sf player can play it and have fun with it. also ranma sucks fucing balls i never herd of any one liking it dark stalkers has to small a fallowing MSH has NO ranbats and NO tournaments , Cota is played at ECC when Batt host it but thats about it. (and its way to diff fomr the res tof the vs series) xvsf has twice as many players than mk3. Any how, thats just the the bulk of the game syou named besides Sfa2 and 3 who gives a shit about that list of games.
hahahah a primal rage. Isn’t that the game where all specials where negative edged ONLY?
Seriously though, I don’t know why you come in here and try and bash the game without any legitimate argument. If you want to explain why you think XvSF, please do, and we’ll engage in some intelligent discussion. But simply saying it sucks isn’t going to do anything.
im trying to pick up ryu and dhalsim for some so.cal action 
NICE!! bring it!
There’s no need to insult Ranma, the only thing it has going against is its speed.
(Yes I play it)
I didn’t say XvsSF sucked, I just listed some better competitive games.
PR had some weird controls, not just negative edge but things like hold down 2 buttons then do down then up…I hear they made the control more standard in later versions…
XvSF is a fine game for enthusiasts, it is certainly fun. But the first post talking about it re-taking EVO by storm is just a tad out of control.
Any fighting game can be played competitively. A two player game where both players have access to the same characters and moves can always be played competitively. What matters is how interesting the gameplay is, how degenerate the strategy is, etc.
Tic Tac Toe isn’t a very fun competitive game because the ideal strategy is easy to learn and always results in the exact same game.
XvSF is a lot like that. The strategies are fairly known and not terrible complex, most games and players look about the same.
Watching vids of previous evo side events, most matches came down to who screwed up an infinite more often.
The games I listed all have more interesting matches and gameplay. Except for KI, I don’t know why I put that in there.
I played a mean keepaway pancake flipping bitch in Ranma. The one with the giant spatula…
HATE
He said Hard Battle(the 2nd one), not Super Battle(the 3rd one). NERD.
D:
Scrub? 
im the nerd?
youre the one that corrected me mothafuckah!
:annoy: :annoy: :annoy:
Better competitive games that people actually play … or games that old folks namedrop for theory fighter only?
So what? If people want to go through the effort of organizing a big event, why e-hate on their parade?
I don’t think any XSF player harbors delusions that XSF is ever going to have the same status as MvC2, but why should that stop them from trying to take their favorite game as far as possible?
When XSF was new, most of the SF player base ignored the Marvel games like they were for scrubs only. It took MvC2 to change that perception, so now that the community respects the Marvel games, why shouldn’t the XSF players give it another shot? I mean, i know it’s considered cool when cats like Spider-Dan give the whole derogatory speech talking shit about players that get into games years after the games have faded from the spotlight. But let’s be honest. The original XSF spotlight was about two inches wide.
Besides, just about everyone acknowledges that XSF is fun in casual. Holding XSF tournaments is a valid way to bring attention to the game, even if the ultimate goal is more casual play instead of tournament attendance.
Aren’t you blowing things a bit out of proportion there? It’s a Street Fighter game in the Marvel engine. There’s plenty of OG strategy there, as Vic pointed out earlier. Yes there are some dumb characters you can play if you want to get some wins without effort. But you’re neither going to have much fun nor are you going to beat the top players that way. So it really comes down to whether the existing XSF players are annoyed by the “not terribly complex” strategies that do well once in a while. And so far, they don’t seem to be complaining.
Bottom line is, i’m not really that surprised when i see people hating on XSF. Even the players have to use disclaimers sometimes, when they’re talking about that game. But really margalis, do you think you’re saying anything that anyone posting in this thread doesn’t already know? I mean, you’re not exactly talking to mall scrubs here. They know what they’re getting into.
nice post maj. i agree. cant hate on a revival no matter what. im always down for it. im always gonna represent the game, the BS and all!
Lol when I get my laptop Im gonna try and make ppl play this game hehe
Oh shit Montreal gonna beast a the next Xvsf CC?
xmvsf combo strings, frame data, just frames are way more complex than mvc2. you can do every single mvc2 combo + atleast 1000 more additional. there are combos you can do in xmvsf that are almost impossible to explain.
Just cause you don’t know the complexity of the game doesn’t mean there is none. I know frame data in both mvc2 and xmvsf, and i can tell you xmvsf is 100x more open to combos.
XvSF @ MAT ??
If so im taking that shit!!
Matt your going doooowwwwn!!!
Too chinatown??
You gotta fight through ottawa’s best for that title first.
I hope to god there’s xvsf at MAT. I hate/can’t play every other game there.
that to!!!
